Microsoft has fixed a bug in its Windows 11 start menu that was causing it to malfunction on devices running version 21H2.<\/p>\n
Bleeping Computer reported<\/a><\/strong> that Microsoft had addressed the issue after acknowledging it on Friday, 22 July.<\/p>\n “A small number of devices are unable to open the Start menu after installing updates released June 23, 2022 or later,” Microsoft said in an update on the Windows health dashboard.<\/p>\n “After installing KB5014668 or later updates, we have received reports that a small number of devices might be unable to open the Start menu.”<\/p>\n Clicking the start menu icon or hitting the Windows key on affected devices would often have no effect.<\/p>\n The fix leverages Windows’ Known Issue Rollback (KIR) function, which can revert problematic non-security-related fixes through Windows Update.<\/p>\n According to Bleeping Computer, the fix will likely make its way to consumer and non-managed business computers within one day. Restarting affected devices can also speed up the rollout.<\/p>\n Managed business devices will need IT admins to install and configure a specific KIR Group Policy for its systems’ version of Windows to fix the issue.<\/p>\n “The special Group Policy can be found in Computer Configuration<\/em> -> Administrative Templates<\/em> -> KB5014668 220721_04201 Known Issue Rollback<\/em> -> Windows 11 (original release)<\/em>,” Microsoft said.<\/p>\n The KB5014668 220721_04201 KIR Group Policy is available for download here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The bug made it difficult to access the start menu on affected devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":417130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[123,60187,807,70233],"class_list":["post-454002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-microsoft","tag-start-menu","tag-windows","tag-windows-11"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454002"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
